Thanks to Rin Itoshi's screamer and some solid defending in the dying minutes of the first half, the Blue Lock Eleven are up 2-1 against the U-20 Japan team. Morale is running low in the U-20 locker room, and things only get worse when Sae Itoshi threatens to leave. Just then, an ominous figure emerges from the wings... The demon striker Ryusei Shidou is finally loose and ready to run rampant!

"After making it through the grueling Second Selection, Isagi and the remaining thirty-four strikers prepare for their next challenge, a match against the current U-20 Japan team. At stake: a chance to represent Japan on the world stage as part of the U-20 team. However, with only eleven spots available on the Blue Lock team, Isagi must first clear tryouts if he is to keep his dreams alive. Can he assert his place among the best of the best?!"-- Provided...

"Could you get down to work? Isagi has finally scored his own goal in the Neo-Egoist League, courtesy of his newly unveiled "side weapon," the lefty direct shot. Yet this is no time to get complacent. Italy's master, Snuffy, immediately brings his tactical genius to bear in Ubers' counterattack, but Barou chafes against his philosophy of soccer as "work." Meanwhile, Niko, Kaiser, and Aiku all turn their own specialized weapons on Isagi as they seek...

"Could you be reborn? The Bastard München versus Manshine City match opened with a tremendous goal from Chigiri, who's leveled up his game with a little help from Chris Prince. As Bastard München launches a counterattack, Isagi finds some much-needed backup in Kurona. However, the specter of his teammate Kaiser is always there to shut him out from any scoring opportunities. Can he find the missing piece and finally escape the tyrant's shadow?"--Publisher....

Were you born to play soccer? After seemingly rejecting Snuffy's strategy and going rogue, "King" Barou tied up the game with a crazy double nutmeg. Isagi seethes at being outplayed yet again, but with Yo Hiori's entry into the match, he now has a new piece to help him turn the tide. As a furious battle unfolds on the pitch, Hiori grapples with his complicated feelings toward soccer and his place in Blue Lock. A part of him may be ready to call it...

Having landed near Bergen, in Norway, Thorfinn is attacked by a bear, only to be saved by a fierce huntress name Hild. While sharing a meal together, Hild recounts how her village and family were massacred many years ago-- a story Thorfinn knows quite intimately.

"As a child, Thorfinn sat at the feet of the great Leif Ericson and thrilled to wild tales of a land far to the west. But his youthful fantasies were shattered by a mercenary raid. Raised by the Vikings who murdered his family, Thorfinn became a terrifying warrior, forever seeking to kill the band's leader, Askeladd, and avenge his father.
